Organization is an ability that can be acquired or learned by everyone. The terribly hard part is breaking away from your constant habits of cluttering such as piled up paperwork and scattered documents. The solution to organization is by starting with just one step at a time. You will be surprised that all the clutter and the mess that took years to accumulate might only take an hour or two to clean up. When you have a disaster desk: 1. Remove everything off your desk. 2. Start cleaning your desk. With a damp cloth, wipe the surface of the table, the drawers, the drawer handles, and the entire desk.
3. Get several boxes of different sizes and label each (paper clips, pens, pencils, letterheads, etc.) according to specific office supplies that you have. 4. Keep handy a trash container to dispose of paperwork or certain office supplies not needed anymore. 5. Next identify and assign a place for all your office supplies and paperwork, in accordance as to how frequent they are used. Items being accessed regularly, must be positioned and placed in a spot that is conveniently reachable and can be seen easily, such as desk drawers, on the desk top, or the shelves near your table. Things that are not often used, such as those that are only accessed every week or every month, can be placed further away. 6. Schedule an hour or two of one day each week for cleaning and organizing your desk, and stick to that schedule, to keep up with what you have started. Guide to desk organizing: 2. In your home, set up an area specifically for paperwork only and nothing else. Discipline yourself to work only in one spot for doing your office work and not anywhere else, like the dining table or the living room's center table. 3. Determine your working habits. If you are the type who spreads out your materials while working, make sure you use a long and wide desk for working. 4. Invest in a comfortable chair that you think will suit you and you can work long hours sitting in without tiring your back. Just keep in mind, if everything is in its place, you should be able to quickly reach or locate what you're searching for. So better fix up that desk, it’s for your own good.
